Hello, so this is the dealio.....

I bought a bunch of games from someone over ebay......and i looked at this game wondering if it was fun so i popped it right in and pressed play....

When i pressed play on the dashboard it goes to black screen like it would be normally load....

BUT....when you think everything is going all so well...it disconnects me from live and signs me back in instantly...wierd huh?

Before you go saying its my live connection STOP......I tried playing on about 4 other games and they loaded fine and i could play them on live....

ALSO!!!! The Disc is perfecto!!!!there are like no scratches on it at all...maybe one little tiny one but every disc does....

So...how do you like my story???

Any Ideas?....

I had a similar problem, when I load the game it goes black then sends me back to the dashboard games list. I haven't fixed it but found a work around - with the disk in I go to the marketplace as if to purchase the game and in place of the Buy option it allows me to play the games directly from there.

Same here.....   its been almost 2 weeks and there is no answer on how this issue can be fixed???????   i haven't tried the marketplace idea yet........

thanks

You can't play the disc apparently you must download to hard drive and then play from your game library in xbox live arcade.

Downloading it to the hard drive won't work either, just tried it before coming to the forums for answers; I'll try the marketplace idea.  Thanks!!

yea i tried downloading to hard drive....no luck....

have not tried market place thing yet which i will....thanks for the ideas everyone...

=D

Works great!!! thanks for the help!!!

ugh. this game just arrived in the mail from an ebay seller, too. the same thing is happening. it was a great deal, and i don't think that it was the seller's fault, but it doesn't matter how good a deal is if i can't play a game.

Did you check your arcade games list?  This disc does not load like other games, bringing you to any sort of menus or anything.  It merely adds games to your games list so you have to choose your game just like any other arcade game.  Removing the disc also removes the games from your list.

yeah. thanks. i found a similar post to this one with the answer. i truly thought something was broken as i bought this disc for $5, and i have the other arcade disc and it doesn't work like this one. thanks.

I'm glad I found this post, I had also thought my disk was messed up. What a strange way to load up and play the games, but thanks for the fix!
